Looking for Barton Mountain, Part 1

Wingnut and I were looking for an easier way to climb Barton Mountain today. If we climb the mountain from my property we get to the cliffs and would have to hike way around them to get to the summit. So we drove to the other side where there is a private road. On the Google Earth maps it looks as if this road goes to the summit. It doesn't. It goes to private property on a mountain ridge miles from the summit. On the drive back, I saw this woodchuck on top of a boulder in a field. Wingnut took the photos and they were as close as we could get to the animal.

This is how the woodchuck looked to us from the car.He was quite a distance away.
